THE BEST MEXICAN TORTILLA ROLL UPS



The Best Mexican Tortilla Roll Ups image

I am requested to make these all the time. They are easy, and people LOVE them. I developed this over the years to suit our tastes. There are recipes close to this one, but I like mine best! The amount of tortillas you need will depend on how thick you spread the mixture. I like them thick. Zaar wont let me list the chilies, olives and pimentos correctly. But I buy the small can of each. They are already chopped small, so they mix in well with the cream cheese.

HEATHER'S MEXICAN ROLL-UPS



Heather's Mexican Roll-Ups image

I found this on The Biggest Loser website. I wanted to put it in my cookbooks and thought I would share. Information about this recipe from the website. "Heather Hansen relies on this easy rollup to help toward her weight loss goal. To keep from getting bored with it, she alternates between making it with Jennie-O Turkey Store Extra Lean Ground Turkey and extra-lean beef. Though she generally eats the turkey naked, she prefers to spike it with 1 1/2 teaspoons of Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle Seasoning or other salt-free Mexican seasoning, which she mixes into the meat before cooking. Either way, it's a great option for a quick dinner."

  • Then sprinkle 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla, then drain the olives really well and place an olive slice about every inch or so or closer if you want more olives.

Mexican Roll Ups Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by Norma-2

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package soft taco shells
1 package cream cheese
1/2 package taco seasoning
1 1/2 cup grated cheese
2 teaspoons chopped jalapenos
Small carton of sour cream
Garlic salt to taste

Steps:

  • Mix cream cheese, taco seasoning, cheese, jalapenos, sour cream and garlic salt together. Spread on each soft taco shell. Roll, slice, and refrigerate.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Tortillas: Use high-quality, pliable tortillas that won't crack or tear when rolled. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
  • Keep Tortillas Warm: Warm tortillas are more flexible and easier to roll. Wrap them in a damp paper towel and microwave for a few seconds or heat them in a skillet until pliable.
  • Use a Variety of Fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Try different combinations of proteins, vegetables, cheeses, and sauces. You can use cooked chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, or tofu as fillings. For vegetables, consider bell peppers, onions, corn, black beans, or spinach. Use your favorite shredded cheese, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack. Experiment with various sauces, such as salsa, sour cream, or guacamole.
  • Season the Filling: Don't forget to season your filling with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices or herbs. This will enhance the overall flavor of the roll-ups.
  • Roll Tightly: Roll the tortillas tightly to prevent them from unravelling. You can use toothpicks or skewers to secure the roll-ups if needed.
  • Cooking Methods: Mexican roll-ups can be baked, fried, or grilled. Baking is a healthier option, while frying gives a crispy texture. Grilling adds a smoky flavor.
  • Serve with Toppings: Serve the roll-ups with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, Pico de Gallo, or shredded lettuce. This adds extra flavor and texture to the dish.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, Mexican roll-ups are a versatile and delicious dish that can be customized to your liking. With a variety of fillings and cooking methods, you can create endless variations to satisfy your taste buds. Whether you prefer classic beef and cheese roll-ups or more creative fillings like chicken and black beans, these roll-ups are sure to be a hit.
